This is estate grown, from a Lake Chelan winery in an emerging region. Riesling is clearly a strength, as this has a delicate elegance often missing from the fruit bombs that can be grown in warmer sites. Bone dry, dusty and lightly floral in the nose. The balance of blossom, yellow fruits, juicy acidity and wet rock is impeccable; the wine extends itself gracefully into a lingering finish.——P.G.(12/1/2010)—— 92

Aromatic and lively, with honeysuckle, peach, apricot, apple and cinnamon pear scents. It’s delicate and complex in the mouth; bone dry and yet carries a lovely sensation of sweet blossom. Another very fine effort from this up and coming Chelan winery.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 91

This excellent Riesling proves that the 2006 Stone’s Throw Vineyard was no fluke. Heather Neff is a winemaker who understands the grape, and seems to be out in front exploring the possibilities for Riesling in Washington’s emerging Lake Chelan wine region. Fragrant with honeycomb, beeswax and a mix of citrus blossoms, this lively wine is rich without being tiring, off-dry but not sweet or sugary, and delicately balanced through an extended finish.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 90

From estate-grown fruit, this is fragrant and off-dry, showing honeysuckle, Meyer lemon, tangerine and grapefruit in the mix of scents and flavors. It’s a fine example of what Washington can do with Riesling, bringing bright, sappy fruit flavors to vibrant acidity, complex sugars and a lingering liveliness on the palate. If this is any indication of what this vineyard (and Chelan in general) is capable of producing, Washington has found its next great Riesling appellation.——P.G.(9/1/2007)—— 92
